Historical sites and nature coexist 💕Nara Park is really a place to relax and unwind

#OsakaShoppingGuide: Entering Nara Park is like entering a kingdom of deer.
The deer here are numerous, each with its own unique personality. Some are docile and well-behaved, gently approaching you, gazing at you with moist eyes, waiting for your deer biscuits.
When you offer them a deer biscuit, they become instantly excited, some even bowing adorably. Be careful not to get surrounded when feeding the deer. It's best to hide your deer biscuits and take them out gradually, or you might be chased by a herd of fawns.

Continuing toward Wakakusa Mountain, the area becomes increasingly less crowded, but the deer are still quite numerous. All the way to the base of the mountain, the deer are quite polite. There are no deer biscuits for sale, and there aren't many tourists. When you offer your deer biscuits, the fawns will approach you, but they usually bow first. Once you're done feeding, you raise your hand and they'll leave. They're quite well behaved.

A little tip: Avoid crowded areas at the entrance to Nara Park. For example, the fawns at the entrance to Nara Park are often fed frequently. It's recommended to feed the less-visited fawns at Wakakusa Mountain.
